Whiteboard animation, with AI
Make a whiteboard animation without drawing a single line.
Give Frametell a topic, or your notes, slides or a PDF. It plans the film with you, writes the script, voices it and draws every page in marker on a whiteboard, line by line, as the narration goes. No clip-art library to search, no timeline to drag.
Watch a real filmCreating a whiteboard animation, in four steps
- 01
Say what it’s about
A one-line topic, or your own material: PDF, Word, PowerPoint, EPUB, Markdown or images. Frametell reads all of it and tells you how long the film would run and what it costs.
- 02
Approve the storyboard
The director proposes every page: what is drawn and what is said. Cut, reorder or rewrite any of them, then approve. Nothing is drawn before you do.
- 03
It writes, voices and draws
The script is written and read by an AI voice you pick, and every page is drawn on the whiteboard in time with the words.

Why whiteboard, and why this way
The look people trust to explain
Black marker, a few colours, one idea per board. Video scribing works because the eye follows the line being drawn, and the voice says what it means.
Drawn for your topic, not picked from a library
Most whiteboard animation software has you search clip-art, drop it on a timeline and time it by hand. Frametell draws each page for what that page says.
Chalkboard, too
Prefer chalk on a blackboard? Chalkboard is the same idea in white chalk on green-black. There are about 29 other styles if the topic wants a different hand.
Minutes, not days
No sketching, no voice recording, no timing by hand. You check the storyboard and the finished film, and change only the pages you want changed.
Not for realistic people, characters or photo-to-video. Frametell draws explainers; it doesn’t film.

Questions
What is whiteboard animation?
A video where an idea is drawn on a whiteboard, line by line, while a voice explains it. It is also called video scribing or a whiteboard explainer video, and it is used for lessons, training and product explainers.
Can AI make a whiteboard animation?
Yes. Frametell writes the script, voices it and draws every page in a whiteboard style, timed to the narration. You approve the storyboard before anything is drawn, and can change any page afterwards.
Is it a hand moving clip-art around?
No. Each page is drawn for what it says, in marker on a whiteboard, line by line as the narration goes, so you get the look of a board filling up with your idea.
Is it free?
You start with 500 free credits, about 2–3 one-minute films. After that, plans start at $20 a month.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. The films are yours, on YouTube, in a course or in a sales deck. Films made on Free carry a small Frametell mark.
How long can a whiteboard video be?
Frametell is at its best at one to three minutes. For a longer subject, make several short films, one idea each.
